Hawaii, The Hawaiian Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, corner card on 1899 cover to Portland, Me., franked with 1899 2¢ rose tied by Honolulu duplex underpaying the 5¢ rate, purple "T 10 Centimes" handstamp with "1" changed to "2" by hand, "U.S. Charge to Collect 26 (manuscript) cent" handstamp applied in San Francisco, backstamped San Francisco and Portland; small opening tears at top, Fine. Scott No. 81 Estimate $200 - 300.
In Honolulu the short-paid cover was considered unpaid, hence the 20 centimes (10¢) due marking—twice the correct 5¢ rate. In San Francisco, the under payment of 3¢ was apparently added to the 10¢ already due and re-doubled to 26¢.
